VEERA ROMANOFF ART
About me
Veera Romanoff
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Veera Romanoff is a Finnish artist and architect working between Finland and the United Kingdom. She graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute in 1992. Her practice develops at the intersection of painting, spatial thinking, and contemporary technological conditions.
In developing her artistic style and perfecting her skills, Veera draws inspiration from the legacy of Matisse's Fauvism and boldly incorporates the spontaneity of form and the chromatic chaos of metamodernism into her works.
Her visual language stands in contrast to the colorless routine of everyday life.
Having experience as an artist and an architect, Veera bridges
functionality and beauty by engaging in a constant dialogue between art and modern technology. Her two works are part of The Wrong Biennale 2025. Each work is exhibited on behalf of a different gallery, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of her practice and its relevance across diverse institutional contexts.
Romanoff has exhibited internationally, including Personal Structures at the European Cultural Centre, Palazzo Bembo, Venice (2026), the LA Art Show (2025, 2026), and Art With Me Miami, an official off-site programme of Art Basel (2025). She also participated in The Wrong Biennale (2025). Her works are held in private collections across Europe, North America, and Asia.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I do not depict the body — I think through it.
Colour acts as force; time as the medium in which form takes shape and breaks down.
Color is my passion. My desire to paint inevitably transforms into an experiment with color.
Time is the artist who constantly redraws the world. Time creates and erases all around, but my goal is to capture its ephemerality.
My works can be perceived as an interpretation of Matisse's Fauvism legacy with its rich colors, bold compositions, and free forms that oppose the monochrome of everyday life.
Being both an artist and an architect and following the concept of metamodernism, I apply an interdisciplinary approach to my art. I draw ideas from the changing world in all my works, whether it be paintings, graphics, video art, or installations. I deliberately avoid clear definitions and disrupt integrity. I play with the stability of cultural heritage and the instability of contemporary art, striving to find a balance between cutting-edge technology and the preservation of classical artistic values.
I transform my personal experiences into art objects. I hope that viewers will engage in a dialogue on perceptual variability and, ultimately, in philosophical reflection. I believe that this interaction will allow viewers to create their own worlds.
I see art as magic that makes routine colorful.
